In the Korean entertainment industry, there are countless idol groups that debut every year, and it is precisely because the speed of group replacement is too fast, many popular groups will be replaced by newer and younger idols if they are not careful, and will soon be forgotten by people. Even some of these groups have not yet had time to enter the public eye, and they have been drowned in the torrent of the times. So how do these tepid idol groups in South Korea behave themselves? What about income?
On February 9, some netizens posted on the forum that SF9, a member of a men's group with extremely low popularity in South Korea and the mainland, earned less than 120,000 yuan in 200,000 years, and even had to take government subsidies, and posted a screenshot of an interview with SF9 member Kim In-sung. Kim said that in Gyeonggi Province, a subsidy of 1.5 million won (about 9,000 yuan) will be given to young people who earn less than 20 million won (about 120,000 yuan) a year. Kim In-seong revealed that after his debut, his annual income did not reach 20 million won, and he also applied for a subsidy.
The reporter asked about Kim In-shing's income after the return of SF9, and Kim In-shing admitted that he earned almost a year's worth of food. Jin Rencheng also revealed that when groups hold concerts or perform these collective trips, the members of the group are to be paid equally, but since last year, the company has stipulated that the remuneration obtained from individual trips belongs to individuals.
Unexpectedly, the private income of the bright and beautiful love beans on the stage was so depressed, netizens said: "Taking government subsidies, it is also a bit miserable." Some netizens said that some well-known groups, even when to settle the remuneration is a problem, can not help but think of some migrant workers who are owed wages. Some netizens said that the annual income of 120,000 yuan and an average monthly salary of 10,000 are difficult to meet even the basic life in high-consumption South Korea.
In the impression of many netizens, celebrities belong to the high-income group, and they do not know that in South Korea, where idols are everywhere, there is such a phenomenon that the income of celebrities is so low. SF9 is a male dance group that debuted on October 5, 2016, consisting of 9 members: Kim Yong-bin, Kim In-sung, Lee Jae-yun, Lee Da-won, Baek Joo-ho, Kim Lu-woon, Yoo Sun, Kim Hui-young, and Kang Hyun-hee. They have undergone many years of rigorous trainee training before their debut, and the 9 members are all young idols who combine looks and talent. In 2016, he was also nominated for the Male Newcomer Award and the Singer of the Year Award at the 2016 Mnet Asian Music Awards.
Nowadays, with the return of SF9, many netizens have seen their growth and transformation. A few days ago, the Chinese circle has also issued invitations to SF9, believing that this group of unremitting efforts will be able to shine in the future and let more people see their efforts.
